Having trouble opening different files. What will open files

I want to clean out my libraries. I have a lot of different items I have downloaded over time. First I don't know all the different file types. In trying to open each item?, file?, or whatever, a lot of them won't open. The options that always open up for me to choose to open with are Windows Live Movie Maker, Windows Movie Maker, Windows Media Center, Windows Photo Viewer, Word Pad, Windows Live Photo Gallery, and Open Office. Is there anything that opens different types of files? I can't download a program for each file type plus every thing you download brings things with it that mess up your computer. I would really like to know what each item in my library is so I can either keep it, delete it, print it, or what ever. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You can delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

HT1414 I have broken the glass on my ipod touch. I am having trouble with some of my apps opening when I touch the screen. Can the glass be replaced? Will that solve the problem?

Very likely yes.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 if a 64 GB 4G, $99 for the other 4G iPods and $149 for a 5G. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

By the way, a full uninstallation and reinstallation is a bit heavy-handed and is not always necessary.
Keep in mind that with Photoshop CS6 the Plug-ins subfolder is now normally completely empty. So to undo an inappropriate copy of plug-ins generally you can just delete all the copied plug-ins and that will restore proper Photoshop CS6 operation.
Then you can reinstall your needed 3rd party plug-ins one by one.

Hey X300X,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iMessages. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

You may also want to reset your network settings:

Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.

If you have two public class in a java file what will be the error ?

Q:If you have two public class in a java file what will be the error and how will you remove that.?

I dont want you to be on that list . Here goes my explanation..
A class is well defined with members and functions
An abstract class is not defined well as compared to a full fledged class (talking more generically)
An interface is more abstract.
I was asking the author who has posted this question to be like a class(very clear)
and not either as an abstract class or an interface
Hope i have made it clear..Not in the slightest. This has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the question asked. Not to mention that classes are classes, and all equal in the eyes of the compiler, be they abstract, concrete or interfaces. It's difficult to see what your point is, to be honest, but I suspect it wouldn't be worth seeing anyway

There is a black box on my screen that is announceing everything i do: ex if i go over file it will say file 22 items. how do i make it go away?

how do i make it go away?
ex: if i move my mouse over file, it will say file 22 items

Hi,
This sounds like a setting needs changing in the Finder's View menu. Choose View>Show View Options or hit Command-J. Uncheck Show Item Info in the resulting dialogue.

My Macbook with 10.6.8 is having trouble with certain applications- Word will not open, and text edit or pdf will not print.

My Macbook (13 inch 2008) running OS 10.6.8 is having trouble with some applications. Word will not even open. I cannot print from text edit or Preview or Adobe. Excel sometimes opens but very slow. What could be wrong? I have repaired permissions, used an antivirus program, deleted some old MS fonts, and still no change. I have 1 G RAM and there seems to be plenty available and I have 50 G of hard drive space empty.

Well, first 1gb of Ram is not plenty. It's the absolute bare minimum just to run OS X 10.6.8. The MS Office applications are ram hogs also. I would recommend three things.
1. Get more ram.
2. Reinstall and update your MS Office applications.
3. Reinstall Snow Leopard.
If you're not familiar with Activity Monitor you might have a look at this link and you'll be able to judge your ram situation a little better.

What will open an old Claris Works database file?

I have a MacBookPro with iWorks and OfficeMac (no Access). I've been maintaining a database on my old G3 uwing Claris Works and OS 9.2.2. I copied this database onto my new MacBook from a CD I burned on my G3 so I can continue maintaining it, but I have nothing that will open it.
Will AppleWorks open it, and if so, what version, and where can I get it? I REALLY don't want to do this database over again!
I'm probably at fault for not buying new Macs with new software more frequently.
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions JayPhe
There really isn't any other program that can open a ClarisWorks or AppleWorks database. Once it is open, it could be saved as ASCII or plain text & imported into a spreadsheet.
What version of ClarisWorks did you use when you last saved that database? I'd suggest getting AppleWorks 6 which will run very well on your MacBook Pro, but there is a problem with the most current version, 6.2.9, & opening ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files. It gives an I/O error. There doesn't appear to be a way to predict which files will cause problems. I've had it happen & not happen with all ClarisWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6, so a good choice would be AppleWorks 6.2.4. AppleWorks 6.2.4 is the earliest version stable in OS X. AppleWorks 6.2.7 will work, but I always recommend avoiding it it at all possible - very, very, very buggy! Hardcore Mac is selling AppleWorks 6.2.4 for a reasonable price. You also can sometimes find AppleWorks 6 on eBay, but it might be difficult to be sure it's no newer than 6.2.4 and has an OS X-aware installer (AppleWorks 6.2 or later).

On certain websites, when opening a wmv file it will open as an ascii file, instead of the microsoft media player.

this website used to work at one time. What could cause this. This may have happened after upgrading to Firefox 4.0, but I am not sure. I am using Windows XP. I have checked that I have the latest media player plugin installed.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

If the file is opened in Firefox as a text (ASCII) file then that means that the HTTP response header specify a content type text/plain instead of a content type that identifies the file as a media file. That can be a problem with that website, but another possibility is that security software like a firewall has changed the response headers as a security precaution because that content isn't trusted.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Sending PDF files that will open exclusively in "full screen mode"

Flash has this capability with Projector's files. I wonder if Acrobat has the same capability. I've tried unsuccessfully.

If you embed a document script with the following code, the file will open in full-screen mode:
app.fs.isFullScreen = true;
However, the user will always be able to switch back to the regular viewing mode, and it will probably not work if the file is opened in a browser.
Also, it won't work if JavaScript is turned off.

How to create a excel file which will open in every version of MS Office?

In your code, write this:
DATA my_path type string.
GET PARAMETER ID 'ZPATH' FIELD my_path. "or any other name you choose
double click on ZPATH, choose create. You will have created a new parameter. You can use any names starting with Z or Y.
Go to SU01, and set this parameter there (ZPATH)..I hope this doesn't need further clarification.
In parameter value, put the path to the file..
After executing the GET statement, the value will be available in the variable my_path. Pass this to GUI_UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD functions, and it should work fine.

Having trouble getting waf to create a pc file for pkg-config

Hello Arch Linux forums!
After successfully building and installing some monome tools on my debian machine, I thought I'd migrate over to developing things on arch linux.
However, I'm having trouble building my project because pkg-config cannot find libmonome after a fresh build. It complains that there's no libmonome.pc in my $PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Sure enough, libmonome.pc does not exist, while it does on my debian machine.
I suspect it's some sort of permissions / path issue that I need to account for, but I'm unaware as to where to start looking. Has anyone else used waf and encountered similar issues?
Thanks in advance!

Well the configuration file you chose does not allow users created in NetWeaver to be created in the LDAP. That's why it's a "readonly" configuration. I would guess that you need a custom configuration file specifically for open ldap.
This should help get you started on a custom configuration file:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/b7/14d43f2dd44821e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Then again, if the only problem with the .XML file you chose is that you can't write to the LDAP, give the dataSourceConfiguration_ads_writeable_db.xml configuration file a shot.

PDF link does not open in IE, but will open in Firefox and Safari.

Dreamweaver code:
<li><a href="javascript:; " onClick="MM_openBrWindow('resources/facultyresources/SAFunctionalFramework.pdf','toolbar= yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=550,height=450')">Eliciting and Assessing Performances of Self Assessment</a></li>

How PDFs open when clicked on is controlled by the user's settings. You can't use code to force them to display in-browser.
Check your IE security settings, especially if it's a local file that won't open. IE has some idiotic security settings when trying to open local files.
If the site has been uploaded and IE won't open the PDF, you will want to make sure you have the Acrobat plug-in installed and that it's set to be used from within IE's settings.
